Another consideration is to determine whether you want the display of objects
and labels to be ByLayer or as defined in the style. On the Display tab of the
object style dialog box, you can either apply the style ByLayer or specify style
values for each object component type. There are pros and cons to each
approach.
CONS PROS
Style ■
Difficult to manage
downstream data.
■
Hard-coded display en-
forces standards.
■
Not intuitive to layer ori-
ented users.
■
Fewer layers to manage
because many elements
are on one layer.
■
Requires a style for every
object component.
■
Display of most styles is
done through one dialog
■
Limitations in sharing
data with those not using
Civil 3D.
box and is faster than us-
ing the Layer Manager.
ByLayer ■
Requires layering and
AutoCAD Civil 3D stand-
ards to ensure controls.
■
Familiar to AutoCAD users
and display is easily manip-
ulated through layer con-
trol.
■
Object component dis-
play is difficult to track
and change.
■
Easier to share Civil 3D
content between AutoCAD
products.
Styles Workflow
This section describes a basic workflow for creating and using styles.
To enforce CAD standards, styles should be managed through a drawing
template.
■ Create a drawing template (. dwt ) that contains text styles, linetypes, layers,
and blocks that are standard for your organization. One way to get started
is to modify the styles in one of the .
dwt files in Civil 3D.
